Practical & Applied Simulation Examples (EMC Test Models, PDN Analysis, PCB design Rule Checker)
In this presentation given at Detroit & Chicago EMC Mini-Symposiums Scott Mee, Owner of E3 Compliance and EMC Specialist, discusses:
EMC simulation
EMC PDN analysis
PCB design rule checking
Our Simulation Philosophy
E3 is an independent engineering consulting group
We focus on EMC & high-speed design, simulation, pre- compliance testing & diagnostics
We use simulation tools to complement our engineering and testing to improve product designs
We use simulation to:
make better design decisions
reduce EMC test issues
solve EMC issues faster
Understand the physics
We don’t use simulation to completely replace good engineering practices or lab testing (all are essential)
Optimized Modeling Approach
We use an optimized modeling approach
What does this mean?
Optimized modeling is an approach that prioritizes overall project benefit over pure accuracy of the simulation model
Not enough time & effort → faster, but less accuracy
Too much time & effort → very accurate, but too long & high cost
We also perform correlation studies to improve accuracy
